Watch regulars bid on run-down houses that they move, flip, and sell. (0 more)

Fort Worth, Texas, real estate entrepreneurs are flipping out because of opportunities to purchase older, out-of-place homes in burgeoning neighborhoods. The structures are then moved to vacant lots and undergo complete renovations -- turning run-down dwellings into spectacular gems -- in just one week. The competition concludes at the auction block, where the flippers find out who turns the biggest profit. Who gambles and loses big? Who destroys their house mid-move? And who gets their chops busted by their annoying rivals? (From IMDb)

I was sure I’d read Dubliners before - possibly during my English Literature A Level, but I couldn’t remember what the stories were about. They really give the reader a feel of what life must have been like at the turn of the last century in Ireland. They’re not all ‘pretty’ stories either. We see alcoholism (or at least heavy drinking that impacts life and family), poverty, suicide, missed opportunities and hard decisions. So, normal life for a lot of people.
I now wonder if I should go back and reread one of his novels?
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for serialising this book.
